8 weeks of animation

Welcome to a curated showcase of my best work from two 8-week animation challenges. More than just a collection of my favorite motion design, this selection tells a story of rapid technical and creative growth. * Autumn Challenge 2025 (Discipline Over Perfection): A strict sprint of delivering one finished animation every Sunday. To meet these deadlines, I optimized my 3D pipeline with custom base files, structured my week for low-pressure sketching before weekend rendering, and drew inspiration from everyday design. * Summer Challenge 2026 (The Technical Leap): My introduction to Cinema 4D and Redshift. I overcame steep learning curves by resolving major render bottlenecks—optimizing heavy sky rigs into Dome/HDRI setups to slash render times from 1.5 hours to 2 minutes—and using Xrefs for fast, efficient scene updates. This journey was a masterclass in trading perfectionism for consistency and learning that showing up always beats chasing the flawless. Press play and enjoy the evolution.
